Red Right Hand by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Guitar Chords
<< Back to Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds Song List
Version 1 Version 2
Red Right Hand
Standard tuning
[Verse 1]
Bm
Take a little walk to the edge of town
and go across the tracks
Bm
Where the viaduct looms,
like a bird of doom
As it shifts..and cracks
E
Where secrets lie in the border fires,
in the humming wires
Hey man, you know
you're never coming..back
Bm
Past the square, past the bridge,
past the mills, past the stacks
F#m
On a gathering storm comes
a tall handsome man
E
in a dusty black coat with
Bm
a red right hand
[Verse 2]
Bm
He'll wrap you in his arms,
tell you that you've been a good..boy
He'll rekindle all the dreams
it took you a lifetime to destroy
E
He'll reach deep into the hole,
heal your shrinking soul,
but there won't be a single thing
that you can do
Bm
He's a god, he's a man,
he's a ghost, he's a guru
F#m
They're whispering his name
through this disappearing land
E
But hidden in his coat
Bm
is a red right hand
[Verse 3]
Bm
You don't have no money?
He'll get you some
You don't have no car?
He'll get you one
E
You don't have no self-respect,
you feel like an insect
Well don't you worry buddy,
'cause here he comes
Bm
Through the ghettos and the barrio
and the bowery and the slum
F#m
A shadow is cast wherever he stands
E
Stacks of green paper in his
red right hand
Bm
[Solo]
Bm, G X 4
[Verse 4]
Bm
You'll see him in your nightmares,
you'll see him in your dreams
He'll appear out of nowhere but
he ain't what he seems
E
You'll see him in your head,
on the TV screen
And hey buddy, I'm warning
you to turn it off
Bm
He's a ghost, he's a god,
he's a man, he's a guru
F#m
You're one microscopic cog
in his catastrophic plan
E
Designed and directed by his
Red right hand
Bm
[Solo]
Bm, G X6
Bm
